ASIC TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
T
Current time period of the measurement in seconds.
1
T
Last second of the measurement.
e
T
Exposure time in seconds (time period during which a person is exposed to the action of
noise). This parameter can be set in the
Exposure Time
setup (
Measurement
menu).
The available values are from 1 minute to 12 hours with 1-minute step.
h
8
T
Time period equal to 8 hours (28 800 seconds).
Exponential time constant in seconds for the giving time-weighting. Three time constants
are available:
Slow
(1000 ms),
Fast
(125 ms),
Impulse
(35 ms, but on falling values a
longer time constant of 1500 ms is applied).
W
Frequency-weighting filter:
A
,
C, B
or
Z
.
( )

W
Instantaneous frequency-weighted sound pressure with the weighting filter
W
. Sound
pressure is expressed in pascals (Pa).

x
log
Logarithm of x to the base 10.
Q
Exchange rate in decibels is equal to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The value of Q influences the
calculations of dose meter results, namely
DOSE
,
D_8h
and
LAV
. The exposure rate
equal to 3 complies with ISO R 1999 “Assessment of Occupational Noise Exposure for
Hearing
Conservation Purposes”, while Q equal to 5 complies with the American
“Occupational Safety and Health Act” – OSHA.
q
Value of q is used in the calculations of
DOSE
,
D_8h
and
LAV
is taken from the
formula
